The winter season brings snow, freezing temperatures and occasionally unbearable weather, often discouraging many homeowners from enjoying their backyards once temperatures start to drop. But your backyard and outdoor patio can still be a space for entertaining and relaxation during the winter months — if you design it the right way.

Add Heat Sources

A fire pit is essential for winter outdoor enjoyment. Dekko's gas fire pits provide instant, controllable warmth.

Create Wind Barriers

Strategically placed screens, fences, or plantings block cold winds while maintaining openness.

Include Comfortable Seating

Weather-resistant furniture with plush, waterproof cushions makes winter lounging comfortable.

Add Lighting

Winter days are short. Good lighting extends usable hours into evening.

Provide Shelter

Pergolas or covered areas offer protection from snow and rain.

Winter Activities

Design spaces for winter activities like outdoor dining around the fire pit or winter stargazing.
